Synonyms & antonyms
  • Synonym蒸発じょうはつNeutralEvaporation, with the nuance of a liquid's surface gradually turning to gas; also used figuratively for people suddenly vanishing. More everyday than 「気化」.
  • Antonym液化えきかWrittenLiquefaction: a gas or solid turning into liquid — the reverse of 「気化」, where a liquid becomes gas. A term of written/formal prose.

For a liquid turning to gas, 「気化」 is the word, but it leans scientific — as in 「気化熱」. Everyday talk of water drying up uses 「蒸発」; the opposite is 「液化」.
